Awarepoint Integrates With Rauland Responder's New Staff Assignment Interface To Streamline Nursing, Patient Workflows

Awarepoint Corporation, the leading provider of real-time location system (RTLS) solutions for healthcare, recently announced the integration of its awareED module and Rauland Responder's new Staff Assignment interface to improve emergency department (ED) nursing workflows, overall productivity, and patient care. The integration allows nursing assignments to be made once and then automatically populate awareED, the first aware360°Suite application to offer this interface. Nurses and patients will also benefit from a single-sign-on that will enable nurses and other caregivers to access vital data more quickly, which can be essential in the ED.

"We are always seeking opportunities to simplify the process of providing nurses with the right information at the right time," explains Merrie Wallace, R.N., M.N., chief nursing officer and executive vice president of product solutions at Awarepoint. "Working with Rauland-Borg to automate nurse assignments in Responder, we can now offer our hospital clients the ability to eliminate manual updates of nurse assignments and increase the accuracy and timeliness of the data. This will help hospitals and staff to not only improve workflow efficiency and communications but also enhance patient satisfaction."

Rauland Responder's nurse call system automates nurse assignment information across multiple hospital systems to improve nursing team workflows and deliver a more complete and timely picture of staff/patient assignments. Awarepoint delivers the healthcare industry's only cloud-based, Real-time Location System (RTLS) on single platform of integrated software, technology, and managed services.
